Playing with Fates (TomTord)

His Last Regret

11:46 pm

Staring out the front window Edd, Matt, and Tom were waiting for Tord to come home. Tom blamed himself for this, all he wanted to do is find out how Tord really felt, well he did. Tord doesn't like him, but now he also ran off.

"Well I'm going to bed." Edd yawned. "Matt you coming?"

Matt smiled. "Yep .I need my beauty rest"

"Tom?" Edd asked.

Tom had been so lost in his thoughts, he was startled by Edd. "Huh!?"

"Are you going to bed?" Matt repeated for Edd.

Tom only shook his head before Matt and Edd returned to their respective rooms. Tom  just wanted to wait for Tord so he could say 'sorry'. After a few moments of complete eerie silence Tom chose to turn on the nearby radio. The song fireflies by owl city came on, he began to sing along.

  

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep 

" Cause they fill the open air And leave teardrops everywhere You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare" Tom sang as he followed along.

Tom was so wrapped up in the song he didn't realize the Norwegian come back until he sang along with him.

Tords accent flowed as he sang with Tom. "I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep 'Cause everything is never as it seems" 

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)

I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Please take me away from here
Why do I tire of counting sheep
Please take me away from here
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (said farewell)

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar)

I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

"I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly" Tom whispered

"It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep" Tord whispered the next line.
"Because my dreams are bursting at the seams" They finished together.

The song faded and Tom just looked at Tord.

"I'm sorry" Tom apologized.

"It's fine, Tom" Tord replied, combing through Tom's hair.

Tom tried to explain but all that came out was gibberish.

"Tom, Tom, just shut up would ya' "Tord laughed.

"I'm just really sorry" Tom repeated.

Tord chuckled. "Ya' should be!"

Tom only gave a weak smile, taking it literally and not as the joke it was meant to be.

"Now off ta' bed" Tord nagged Tom.

Tom did just that and went to his room for the night and all of tomorrow too. Locking his door and sitting on his bed, but not bothering to sleep, he just sat in the dark, where he belongs.
